Actually, it seems the Nosler's "blazing" performance is slow.

The 6,5x68 RWS is based on a .280 Ross case and was introduced 1939. RWS offer 2 loadings. The heavier 8,2 gram, (126-1/2 grain), Kone-Point bullet does 3,779 fps. That compares with the Nosler 129 grain doing 3,400 fps.

It would have been really handy if Nosler had started loading the 6,5x68 and we could have all had a cheaper source of brass for the 6,5x68 and the 8x68.

The 6,5x68 is a powerful cartridge with not much in the way of recoil allowing most people to shoot it well. It's very like the .264 Winchester magnum but without the belt. A great mountain cartridge because the high speed reduces wind drift and long-range hold-over errors.

I won't be selling mine as a result of this development.
